Making the surfaces adjacent to the face cover into side covers eliminates any gap between the rear of the face cover base and the shell, creating a seamless design.
The rear edge of the cheek pads now extends further toward the back of the helmet to cover more of the gap around your neck. This prevents wind from entering from the bottom of your NEOTEC 3.
The upper air intake matches the shell with its simple design and can be operated easily even with thick gloves. After extensive testing in our wind tunnel facility, we have isolated the shape for the top air outlet that enables the most efficient air discharge and the most effective ventilation system.
The lower air intake also offers a defogger function and once you fit the redesigned breath guard (included with the NEOTEC 3), a portion of the air taken in while riding can be comfortably circulated around your mouth area. This design reduces the feeling of stuffiness in hot weather and ensures relaxed, comfortable riding in any environment.

Defroster Filter
The defogger is fitted with a removable filter. The filter prevents insects and dirt from entering through the lower air intake hole. It can be easily removed for cleaning with the supplied service tool.
Shield locking mechanism
The lock button of the shield is fitted with a spring that maximizes retention when it is locked. The button will prevent your shield from releasing accidentally even if you fall.
We have also added a gear to the shield base that fixes the shield at a slightly opened position. Riding slowly with the shield at this angle will let you circulate the air inside your NEOTEC 3.
Field of vision when using an anti-fog sheet
Anti-fog sheet is a standard accessory for the NEOTEC 3. It ensures a clear field of view even when you are riding in rainy or low temperature conditions, where the shield/visor tends to fog up.

We have redesigned our exclusive attachment mechanism for communication systems to make it more compact than previous versions. Attaching a communication system has minimal effect on aerodynamic performance and it now merges more smoothly with the helmet’s design.
The battery space is now a notch-shaped area located on the rear of the NEOTEC 3. When the communication system is installed, you can charge its battery by simply placing your helmet on a flat surface. As with previous models, the interior of the NEOTEC 3 is designed so you can easily install a communication system, with a groove for a microphone and spaces for speakers.
The new attachment mechanism is part of our SHOEI COMLINK concept. We have created its exclusive design for helmets compatible with communication systems. The NEOTEC 3 helmet also supports SHOEI COMLINK.

The highly convenient inner sun visor can instantly switch your field of view to “smoke” in response to changes in your riding environment. The NEOTEC 3 is fitted with our QSV-2 sun visor. Five millimeters longer than our QSV-1 sun visor, it blocks sunlight across a noticeably larger area. This sun visor offers quality that rivals the standards set by European sunglasses, providing a clear field of view with minimal distortion. Its opening/closing mechanism uses strong wire that ensures smoother operation.
